GOP House Candidates Need To Go On Offense Too

In the House elections there are a lot more GOP House candidates who have never been elected to an office before than the 11 GOP Senate candidates. They need some help to be able to win their very first election, especially in a district that has recently had a D representing them. They need even more help when they are fighting to win against an incumbent instead of winning an open seat. One way to help is for us to write pieces that are an attack on their opponent’s record. It is not slinging mud to remind the voters of all the votes and backroom deals an elected official has performed that make them unworthy of being re-elected.

So my list below of GOP House candidates is not intended to represent the very best GOP candidates or to represent the closest races in 2010. All that it represents are folks who have never been elected by the voters to an office whose winning will have a significant impact on the establishment politicians. There are certainly more incumbent Ds who also need to be attacked and defeated than the ones I list. The list includes 29 candidates, and so the football analogy doesn’t work too well. The best I can do with a football analogy is a photo of #29, Erick Dickerson
